Here’s honest info about Washington state laws and how they are used to protect, or not, students in “special education”. I’m no expert, so get a grain of salt

School leaders expected to rally in Olympia - Hundreds of Washington school district leaders are expected to lobby in Olympia for funding and support Monday as part of Day on the Hill https://t.co/2IJ61q9lQM via @KING5Seattle

@mercerislandsd Wow, Lurie is nasty toward Glowitz. I thought this was supposed to be adults in a meeting

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@mercerislandsd Lurie is causing so much friction in this meeting. This is about finding the best candidate. Not Lurie’s choice only. I can see why this board is so dysfunctional. Lurie is arguing with getting a price quote on search firms. She keeps using students as an excuse to get her way

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@mercerislandsd Congrats Mr Glowitz!

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@mercerislandsd And Lurie just can’t stop talking. Team player much?

@WA_SBE @Principalfreddy @mercerislandsd @waOSPI @infowabidaorg1 @WA_SBE @usedgov #FAPE public record request, Why is teacher/SJL taking screenshots of private Facebook parent group, sending to deputy superintendent Fred Rundle, MISD? Why is he encouraging it? Unethical

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

The parent who posted in the Facebook group Parents of Mercer Island, who Rundle is blasting, was traumatized after years of advocating for her dyslexic children in the MISD, only to be retaliated against and denied support. They moved out of state to an inclusive district

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

Teacher and superintendent email each other about how they will stop parents of students in special education from having opinions and voice about how the district discriminates against them

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@moms4FAPE Totally agree. Show me a reporter who can read a citizen complaint decision and see how no violations is always the result of OSPI investigators siding with districts. That’s a news story. Do reporter’s understand the mental health impacts of FAPE denied?

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@mercerislandsd @infowabidaorg1 @usedgov @waOSPI Mercer Island School District, your students are behind in reading. Refusing to hire dyslexia experts in the district/access to them is discrimination. Bring SOR to ALL students. #scienceofreading

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@usedgov Tell that to @mercerislandsd. Huge special education staff turnover every year. Teachers not receiving appropriate training, respect or pay from administration. @suptdcolosky paid $250k/year, teacher $60k. @suptdcolosky loses students, teachers educate. overpaid admins #teachers

@IEPforParents @moms4FAPE @JessicaChasmar @lukerosiak @SPEDAction @FoxNews @foxnewsalert @HARRISFAULKNER @TracyWalbridge @EducateAll101 @missypurcell1 @DysgraphiaSucks @HouseOfNoDebt @mercerislandsd @suptdcolosky Agreed. Zero trust. It’s why enrollment keeps decreasing. ⬇️ 10% @mercerislandsd and continues to⬇️. No transparency, accountability or admins with ethics. If you have 1 out of x kids with a learning dis it’s a full time advocacy job for parents in public school. Not worth it

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

It’s like reading about the harassment and retaliation in the @mercerislandsd lead by @suptdcolosky who refuses to talk to parents/no collaboration/0 leaseeship, instead she hires legal goons https://t.co/5GHlWDphoP #FAPEdenied

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@missypurcell1 @mercerislandsd @waOSPI if school districts under your watch are never in violation of IDEA andFAPE then @waOSPI collects federal funding and so does the school. Students always lose this way. Imagine all the wasted dollars that could be used on the science of reading!

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@missypurcell1 @mercerislandsd @chrisreykdal did you know @GlennagalloMy signs off on citizen complaints @waOSPI investigators consistently favor districts over parents with no facts & documentation, never providing data even when failure of students is proved, Ponzi scheme much?

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@missypurcell1 @mercerislandsd @waOSPI lack of support is causing a mental health crisis @GlennagalloMy @chrisreykdal put your words to action. @chrisreykdal states on @waOSPI website HES all about data. Show us! Start enforcing data collection to show progress or not on IEP goals

[Law&Order: Special Education Unit @OrderEducation]

@missypurcell1 @mercerislandsd If parents can’t trust @waOSPI to enforce data collection to show goals in IEPs are effective, instead parents resort to due process, then @waOSPI is failing @WA_SBE students with learning disabilities in Washington state. Yet @waOSPI gets funding
